I have occasionally posted links to the Amicale de Tricyclecaristes de France when interesting pieces have appeared .
Today there has been an announcement that the site may close because there is insufficient activity from members and visitors.
The have put out a call of "Mayday" to try to encourage use of the site and participation in its content from interested parties who may be unaware of its existence and value.
Although some may be put off by the lack of language Google translate makes any problem disappear at the click of a mouse.
The link below is to the recent Welsh LV trial which no doubt will appear elsewhere also. However, if you have the interest, your participation and especially registration and contributions to the forum would be appreciated and may help to preserve an invaluable resource.

When I approach a corner at speed in my Ulster rep I want to change down from 4th to 3rd to take the corner quickly. However it won't go into 3rd. I'm guessing it won't go in because the revs are still high. Anything I can do about that? I do like to drive the car hard!!
Cheers
Rich

Front axle/steering wobble |

This last week, the RP has had a fair bit of use.
One odd thing that has happened twice now is that i have had to drive over pot holes as i brake onto a junction. This put the front of the car into a very odd wobble. Almost like the axle is oscellating on the spring shackles. This then sets the steering wheel wobbling also.
Ive studied all components carefully and can find no faults
Its a semi girling axle.
Does anyone have any ideas?
King pins are less than 1000mile from being done.
The steeringg box has bugger all play.

Front bearing removal tool 1 1/2" crank |

Has anyone made a front bearing removal tool as on page A5-7 of the Austin Seven Manual but for a 1-1/2" pressure-fed crank? The web of this Speedy crank is wider than a standard crank and the standard tool as shown would not be able to push against the inner ball races. The short semi-circular recesses in the crankshaft allow only space for a drift at an angle to the crank shaft, or maybe for a modified bearing removal tool.
Otherwise I suppose I shall just use the time-honoured method of knocking out the bearing with a brass drift.

Antifreeze |

What make and type of antifreeze are people using in their cars?
For years I have used Bluecol 2 year blue antifreeze but I am struggling to find some.
Frost are supplying a Granville product: Granville Sub Zero Blue Antifreeze and Summer Coolant. It says this is a Monoethylene Glycol based antifreeze that does not contain nitrates,amines or phosphates. Suitable for aluminium engines.
Thanks for the feedback.
